My mate fitted one in to his compact. ....it wasn't the easiest installs. Dry sump kit required ...which means you've got to box in the dry sump tank in boot area . The steering column fouled the exhaust manifold. The 6 speed box really needs a mega low cwp to make it work properly . He had loads of issues along the way on rallys and eventually took it out after it ran the bottom end and fitted a 2.8 m52 engine - which he wishes he'd fitted from the start !.....He said it feels far faster and easier to drive . He seen the s2000 engine/box option as cheap power - but he didn't appreciate that he was going to need standalone management and a dry sump system. ...which added over £2k to his £2250 engine and box costs . He then bought jenveys for it to give more grunt - another £1700 bringing his cheap power plant to over £6k by the time he had it mapped ...exh mods etc .
